Sorry, I didn't write that passage.
I don't work for a corporation.
I've never used MS Exchange. (I use Eudora, pine, elm, FirstClass, AOL and
Netscape. That's enough.)
Kent Newton wrote the passage you attributed to me.
I -quoted- Kent's message. The attribution was clear:
Kent Newton quoted Richard's signature and wrote:
>>Richard Mateosian Freelance Technical Writer

>>President, Berkeley STC Copyright 1996 srm -at- c2 -dot- org

After quoting Kent, I added a line of advice. Obviously it bears repeating:
>Perhaps we should all take time to -look- at what we're
>quoting before we make judgements about it
Amen.
